Chapter 269
Do-Jun had little interest in demons. As long as they didn’t harm the people around him, he didn’t care what they did. The power struggles and wars they waged in the Deep Realm, their obsession with rankings—none of it mattered to him. In that regard, Marvas’ attempt at bribery had been a pointless gesture.
A sigh escaped him.
After changing into casual clothes in the bedroom, Do-Jun sat down at the dining table. Yoon-Hee soon placed a warm cup of citron tea in front of him, and he acknowledged her kindness with a small smile.
Just then, his smartphone vibrated with a text message notification from the Seoul Talent Development Institute reminding him about the Fissure Management Training Camp Schedule.
As he sipped his tea and skimmed through the details, Do-Jun looked up at Yoon-Hee, who was sitting across from him, and said, “I almost forgot to mention it. From next Monday to Friday, I’ll be away for training. If anything happens, just give me a call.”
“Sounds good, Fath...” Her words trailed off as she blinked in disbelief.
“You’ll be gone the whole week...?” she asked as if she couldn’t believe what she had just heard.
“Yeah. It’s a training camp.”
“So, you won’t be back until Friday?” Yoon-Hee asked again.
“Unless something unexpected comes up, yes.”
The thought of him being away for four days made Yoon-Hee feel a little down. The bedtime routines, such as reading storybooks to Byeol under the soft glow of the nightlight and sharing stories about their day, had become a warm, comforting part of their daily life. The absence of those moments would leave a noticeable void. However, she didn’t let her disappointment show.
At that moment, Yong-Yong peeked his head over the edge of the table. With his short legs dangling in the air, he clung to the corner with his front paws.
